Official: Thibaut Courtois Moves To Real Madrid On Same Night That Chelsea Wrap Up £71m Deal For Kepa

After seven years on the books at Chelsea, Thibaut Courtois has this evening completed his long-awaited return to Madrid.

Courtois was keen to be reunited with his family, who put down roots in the Spanish capital during the three seasons he spent on loan at Atletico between 2011 and 2014.

The move is still subject to a medical, but is as good as a formality from this point.

We have tonight agreed terms with Real Madrid for the transfer of Thibaut Courtois, subject to the agreement of personal terms and a medical. As part of the deal, Mateo Kovacic will join Chelsea on a season-long loan.https://t.co/WXhHzEdf6D
